Chapter 16: Counting Each Other
"From the inception of Hellfire until now, mutants have not been the absolute core of leadership, and I want Mr. Lodge to know that. As for trust...... It wasn't built in a short period of time. ”
Shaw's words made Rocky noncommittal, in fact, he still had a trace of interest in Hellfire in his heart. Compared to S.H.I.E.L.D., Hellfire undoubtedly has a high degree of freedom, and at the same time can share resources, which will undoubtedly give him a lot of convenience. It's just that if they join like this, it will inevitably make them feel that it will be too easy, and I am afraid that they will not have a lot of chips after joining the club. So, now he must take the initiative before he agrees to his invitation.
"You're right, trust doesn't happen in a day or two. So, I need your sincerity to convince me! ”
Xiao frowned slightly at the moment, and a smile appeared on his face, he finally understood the thoughts of the smart man in front of him. He doesn't reject Hellfire, he just wants to have more resources and the status he deserves.
In that case, why not give it to you? ’
With this thought, Xiao took a sip of red wine and said, "I wonder what Mr. Rocky thinks, how can we be sincere?" ”
The kick made the corners of Rocky's mouth twitch, and he glanced at Emma, who had a bad look, and Serena, who looked normal, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
"What if I say, I want her?" With that, his right hand pointed at Emma without a tremble.
Xiao was stunned, Serena was stunned, and Emma was stunned. After a while, Serena, who was the first to react, had a coquettish laugh on her face.
Serena's trembling branches made Emma's expression very ugly, and she glared at Rocky, gritted her teeth, and said, "Wishful thinking! ”
Xiao finally recovered from his stunned appearance at this time, and his face was no longer as indifferent as just now, but a little cold.
"Mr. Rocky, let's change the conditions!"
Although the words are polite, the dissatisfaction in that tone can be heard by anyone.
The rejected Rocky just shrugged his shoulders at Emma's resentful gaze and said nonchalantly: "No, forget it, but to be honest, there are really not many things that can enter my eyes now." ”
It's a temptation, and Rocky isn't stupid enough to deliberately provoke him, he wants to see how much Shaw values Emma, so as to get a side view of his personality and the relationship between the three.
It turns out that Serena and Emma are at odds. Shaw didn't pay much attention to Emma, and if it weren't, it wouldn't be just dissatisfied. Presumably he must have weighed the pros and cons in his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have been stunned for so long.
The matter of the invitation seemed to have reached an impasse all of a sudden, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little silent.
Rocky had a good time, his expression was leisurely, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. That's the benefit of taking the initiative. But at this time, he also felt a little curious about Xiao winning him over at such a big price, what did he think he had to fight for?
While Rocky was thinking, Shaw was also thinking, and he was thinking exactly what Rocky wanted to know. The reason why he values Rocky so much is not only because of his wealth and status. Because he had a plan that could only be started on the condition of the energy developed by Lodge's subordinate company. At one point he tried to send spies, but alas, the formula for calculating these energies was in Rocky's hands.
At this time, he must pay enough price to get his long-planned plan off the ground.
But Xiao knew that he couldn't take the initiative too much, otherwise he would make Rocky turn against him. So at this time, he was embarrassed, and then said with a resolute expression: "If this is the case, then I am afraid that there is no possibility for our cooperation." ”
Rocky sneered in his heart when he heard this, taking retreat as advance? It's really well versed in the power of the Celestial Empire. But he would be wrong to think that Rocky was so easy to fool. This guy can make the gods of the god domain uneasy, but he is not ordinarily smart.
"That's a shame..."
Rocky shrugged his shoulders in mock regret and was about to stand up.
This action made Shaw frown, no one had ever given him a headache, and Rocky was the first. If he hadn't known that Rocky wasn't simple, he would have been prepared to use extreme means. There is a kind of person who is the most annoying, you can't beat it, and you can't scold it.
How can you convince him? Shaw subconsciously glanced at Emma at this time. This woman, should she give it up?
While Shaw was thinking, Rocky had already walked to the door, ready to leave.
At this time, Emma suddenly got up and said with a sneer: "Is it so easy to want to leave?" ”
The next moment, I saw that her hands began to slowly transform, and the substance of diamonds replaced flesh and blood as her weapons, and with her agile skills, she quickly jumped behind Rocky, and smashed her right fist into his neck.
At this point, Emma's movements fell into Shaw's eyes, causing his eyes to flash. He didn't stop it, and it seemed that he also had the intention of testing Rocky's strength.
Rocky moved just as Emma was about to hit him, his body was wrong, he grabbed Emma's fist with both hands and wrenched it hard, and then kicked her left foot to Emma's feet.
'Bang! ’
There was a muffled sound, as if two extremely hard objects collided, but Emma still irrepressibly retreated with the force, until she retreated to the foot of the wall, and her whole person instantly turned like a diamond, collapsing the wall with the inertia of the force.
Rocky has a strength equivalent to 100 tons, and even if he has a controlled strength, it is not less than a thousand catties.
Although Emma has the ability to turn her body into diamonds, her strength is not strong, and her most powerful means is not melee attacks, but mental power.
I saw Emma stand up from the broken wall, and the diamond's body slowly changed into its original appearance, and her delicate face was full of anger.
"Bastard!"
With an angry reprimand, I saw that an extremely strong spiritual power like a substance suddenly emanated from the void, which instantly penetrated Rocky's brain.
Just in an instant, Rocky's face showed a trance look, and Emma's spiritual power began to slowly penetrate Rocky's brain domain, trying to completely control it with his mental ability.
Xiao had a hint of surprise on his face at the moment, as if he felt a little surprised that Rocky was so lightly subdued.
Of course, Rocky would not fail so lightly, perhaps extreme energy could hurt him, but he was least afraid of a mental attack. You must know that the divine power in the eternal seal in the body is very repelling of external forces.
The next moment, Rocky's expression began to slowly clear, and the spiritual power in his brain had been strangled by the seal before it could invade the brain domain.
The backlash of spiritual power made Emma's body shake and her expression a little pale.
At this time, Xiao, if he can't see that Rocky is a mentally immune person, he is an idiot. What is a psychoimmune person? It can block all psychic attacks and telepathy, although the disadvantage is that the mental power is not too high, but it is absolutely rare.
Rocky, who showed this ability, opened Shaw's eyes to the possibility of dealing with his enemies. At this moment, the scales in his heart were already tilted in favor of Rocky.
"Mr. Rocky!"
Xiao stood up with a smile on his face, "I agreed to your previous conditions!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Emma's blue pupils constricted, and her face turned pale, knowing that she had been abandoned by Xiao and had become a gift with no use value. Ever since Shaw teamed up with Serena, she had had this hunch. But he missed the best chance to turn around.
When Rocky heard this, he suspected that something was wrong with his hearing. After he was confirmed, he wondered what prompted him to give up Emma decisively. But now is not the time to wonder.
"I now finally know why you can sit in the position of the Black King, because you are decisive enough!" After a soft compliment, Rocky shook Xiao's hand with a smile on his face, "Happy cooperation!" ”
"Happy working together!" Xiao tacitly raised a slight smile.
When Shaw left with a smiling Serena, only Rocky and Emma were left in the hall. It's just that this pair of men and women, one is full of smiles, and the other has a gloomy face.
"Hey! Everyone is gone, don't pretend to be angry. You should be thinking about how to get revenge on those two people right now, right? ”
Rocky's playful words made Emma's complexion change somewhat, she was no longer gloomy, but there was still a trace of anger on her face.
"My plan has been completely disrupted by you!"
"Heh~" Rocky chuckled and said with interest: "Actually, you should thank me, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would be killed by their joint calculations!" ”
Emma couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, "How do you know I don't have a backhand?" ”
"And how do you know that they will be as ignorant as you think? Your idea is too simple, you are not Xiao's opponent at all! Little by little, Rocky dispelled Emma's luck, and now he had only one purpose, to completely subdue the woman in front of him.
Ever since he entered the Hellfire Club, he has always had the idea of taking Hellfire into his own hands. He would never allow others to be equal in front of him, and he was undoubtedly arrogant. So, taking Emma as your assistant is the first step! PS: I'm undoubtedly going to portray him as a smart, treacherous, and unusually unusually many.
